Abstract

Diazinon is a phosphorothiate insecticide widely used in the world including Korea. This study investigates the feasibility of photolysis and photocatalysis processes for the degradation of diazinon in water. Both photolysis and photocatalysis reactiosn were effective in degrdading diazinon, however lower TOC removals were achieved. In case of photocatalysis, approximately 40% of nitrogen from diazinon was recovered as NO$_3^-$, and less than 5% of phosphorus as PO$_4{^{3-}}$. However, the sulfur in diazinon molecule was completely recovered to SO$_4{^{2-}}$ from photocatalysis reaction, and the recovery from photolysis was 50%, indicating that P=S bond easily breaks first during photolysis and photocatalysis. The poor recoveries of ionic byproducts and TOC from photolysis and photocatalysis indicate the presence of other organic intermediates during reactions. The formation of organic intermediates were identified during reactions using GC/MS and LC/MS/MS, and the main degradation products were diazoxon, and 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine (IMP), respectively. Finally, the acute 48-hr toxicity test using Daphnia magna were employed to measure the toxicity reduction during photocatalysis of degradation. The results showed that the toxicity increased until 180 min of the photocatalysis reaction (from EC$_{50}$ (%) of 69.6 to 13.2%), however, acute toxicity completely disappeared (>100%) after 360 min. The toxicity results showed that the intermediates from photocatalysis such as diazoxon were more toxic than diazinon itself, however these intermediates can be degraded or mineralized with further reaction.

Diazinon은 전 세계적으로 많이 사용하고 있는 유기인계 살충제이며 특히 한국에서 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광반응과 광촉매 반응을 이용하여 diazinon의 분해에 대하여 살펴보았다. 실험의 결과, diazinon은 인공 자외선의 경우 광반응과 광촉매 반응에서 모두 효과적으로 분해되었고, 특히 광촉매 반응시 광반응보다 더 빠른 분해 효율을 보였으나, TOC는 잘 제거되지 않았다. Diazinon의 광촉매 반응에서 발생한 이온 부산물은 질소의 경우 약 40%가 NO$_3^-$로 회수되었고, 인의 경우는 5% 정도만이 PO$_4{^{3-}}$로 회수되었다. 이에 반해, SO$_4{^{2-}}$이온은 광반응의 경우는 50%, 광촉매 반응의 경우 100%의 회수율을 보였다. 광반응이나 광촉매 반응에 의해서 diazinon의 이온성 부산물의 회수율과 TOC의 분해율이 낮은 이유는 반응에 의한 유기부산물의 생성을 의미한다. 이의 확인을 위한 GC/MS와 LC/MS의 분석 결과 diazinon의 광반응 및 광촉매 반응에 의한 부산물로 diazoxon과 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxy pyrimidine (IMP)이 유기 부산물로 확인되었다. 광촉매 반응에 의하여 처리된 용액의 잔류독성을 평가하기 위하여 D. magna를 이용하여 처리수의 급성 독성을 알아본 결과, 초기 diazinon의 EC$_{50}$값은 69.6%, 광촉매 반응에 의한 180분 후의 처리수에서는 13.2%로 오히려 독성이 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, 최종 처리수인 360분 후의 처리수에서는 독성이 감지되지 않았다. 이는, 광촉매를 통한 처리시, 독성이 diazinon보다 큰 유기부산이 생성 되었다가 계속 반응이 진행되면서 이들 부산물도 분해되거나 무기화됨을 의미한다.
